US Student Visas Drop 19.1% in August 2025, China Overtakes India
The US issued 19.1% fewer student visas in August 2025 compared to the previous year, with a total of 3,13,138 visas granted. Notably, China overtook India as the top country of origin for these visas.
The decline in student visas was significant, with India experiencing a 44.5% decrease year-on-year. This shift saw China secure the top spot, with the US issuing more than double the number of visas to Chinese students than to Indian students in August 2025.
The Trump administration's policies, which include curbing immigration and targeting universities, may have contributed to this change. However, specific details on which countries experienced the strongest reductions are not available.
The decrease in student visas issued in August 2025, coupled with the shift in top countries of origin, reflects ongoing changes in US immigration policies.
